Description
Submarine salvage/tender Pontus

Sometimes a submarine sinks when you don't want it to. When that happens, ships like the Pontus prove invaluable. Equipped with 600m of cable and a combination diving bell-lifting rig, she can haul almost anything from the oceans deep! Just be careful around those stored torpedoes..

Specifications
17 knot top speed
Roughly 800km range at top speed (range decreases at lower speeds)
Length – 56.5m
Width – 18.75m at paddleboxes
Depth – 3.75m
2 QF 3 Pounder Hotchkiss guns for self defense


Features
Detailed interior in both hulls
Functional diving bell
Simulated steam dynamo - boilers need to be lit before lights work
Equipment scattered around ship
2 electric life boats
Scripted sink mode
Gramophone playing 'It's a long way to Tipperary'
Working anchors
GPS autopilot

To start
Each hull contains a boiler that needs to be started
Either use ladder directly into boiler rooms or cross over from cargo holds
Simply press the button on each firebox
Helm is located on top of lifting rig
Recommend waiting for pressure to build in each boiler before trying to move


To sink
In the wheelhouse on the marconi table is a keypad
Simply enter the code '505'
Wait for the fireworks :)


Notes
She's best used for lifting in calm seas, heavy waves will move you off course
Warranty void if torpedoes stored poorly

Inspired by SMS Vulkan (1907)

it CAN lift the Keres, though not good...
It can't ever actually get any part of the wreck out of the water, BUT it can raise it off the seafloor.
Very good though.

I love this thing I just wish the gantry would go up further under heavy load to actually get the sub out of the water so it's not being dragged :steamthumbsup:

To fix the Port boiler it needs a pump put in line with the exhaust, however there is the other problem of the sink doors falling out when spawning

The port side boiler never starts but the starboard one does. Guess it broke with the update.

Why are there only derricks in the front? :(

My torpedoes detonated despite being stored properly, now pay up.

Make a submarine that you can attach to the ship
